A recent ruling dismissed a lawsuit concerning the MOVEit data breach which compromised the personal information of 3.5 million Oregonians. The lawsuit, led by Caery Evangelist, Brian Els, and Bradley Larios sought class-action status but was thrown out by Marion County Circuit Judge James Edmonds. The Oregon government successfully argued that plaintiffs could not directly link financial losses to the theft of their information, despite mentioning a single fraudulent attempted credit application that was halted by the bank.
